This tender, titled "Dynamic Purchasing System for the provision of Alternative Education," falls within the primary education services sector and is focused on the East Midlands region of the UK. The latest round of applications, Round Twelve, is open until 10:00 AM on 31st January 2020, with assessments concluding by 28th February 2020. The DPS is designed to allow continual access for new organisations, ensuring a flexible approach to procurement, with mini-competitions held for specific service requirements as they arise. This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those that can provide alternative education solutions. Companies that fit into the SME category are well-suited to participate, given the potential for tailored services to meet the diverse needs of children and schools. As additional rounds of the DPS are planned, organisations should consider registering and preparing their proposals to compete effectively for contracts in an evolving educational landscape. ## Notice Kingsmead School in Derby has a statutory duty to make arrangements for the provision of suitable education otherwise than at school for children of compulsory school age who, by reason of exclusion from school or otherwise, will not receive a suitable education without these arrangements. Derby City Council, on behalf of Kingsmead School, now wishes to invite applications for inclusion on a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for these services. By creating a DPS we will give Kingsmead School the flexibility of allowing new organisations to join at any time over the course of the DPS, subject to them meeting the initial suitability criteria which will be set out in the DPS. All service requirements over the course of the DPS will then be tendered by way of mini-competition, allowing all organisations on the DPS at that time the opportunity to bid for the requirements at what would be a market appropriate rate at that time. Other Free Schools, Academies and Independent Schools within the city of Derby may also access the DPS with the support of Kingsmead School. The DPS will operate initially from 01/06/2018 to 31/05/2020, with the option of up to five further annual extensions. This notice advises that Round Twelve is now open and closes 10.00am 31/01/2020 with applications assessed by 28/02/2020. Further rounds will operate on a similar two monthly basis. An EU Light Touch procurement tender exercise which is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 will be undertaken to select providers for the DPS which will offer access to pre-approved DPS Providers who can be appointed using an efficient and streamlined procurement process; therefore ensuring the Council obtains value for money whilst enabling objectives to be achieved. For clarity, this DPS is not a full DPS as defined under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, Regulation 34, but is a modified version. This is because Section 7 - Education and Training services (the Light Touch Regime as allowed under Regulations 74 to 77) are not subject to the full regulations of the procurement procedures set out in the Regulations.
